Job opportunities for Savignac residents: the figures

Ecole de Savignac is a management school with a direct professional focus. It designs training programs that meet the current needs of the hospitality management job market, to facilitate theprofessional integration of its graduates. Employment statistics for Savignac alumni bear witness to this success.

As a result, 92% of our graduates work in the hospitality sector! This is one of the highest reported rates for this type of training.

But that's not all: the statistics are also very good when it comes to time to first job after a Bachelor's or MBA in hospitality management. In concrete terms, the figures for the Bachelor's program are as follows:

• 96% of recent graduates find a job after three months;
• 100% of them find a job after 6 months.

For the MBA, the time to first job is 91% after three months. Here too, it is 100% after 6 months, which means that all students have a job six months after graduation.

What's your career like?

After a Bachelor's degree, former students often find themselves at the start of their careers in positions of operational responsibility, rapidly progressing to department or service management positions such as front office assistant, catering controller, floor service manager, sales assistant, assistant housekeeper or cost-controller.

Immediately after graduation, MBA graduates are often employed in positions of responsibility requiring management skills, particularly in large-scale companies. These positions include executive assistant, front desk manager, catering manager, marketing assistant, deputy human resources manager and yield manager.

Going abroad: one of the great advantages of theÉcole de Savignac

Like 31% of our graduates, Eric Laugier (MBA - Class 28, 2017) went on a great adventure abroad.

With his diploma in hand, the young Savignacois headed for the United States to accompany the opening ofJoël Robuchon's Atelier in New York. The restaurant in question represents a major challenge, eagerly awaited by New Yorkers and the media alike, and highly competitive. Indeed, it combines two different concepts that were awarded 2 and 1 stars in their very first year in the Michelin Guide.

Éric then joined the restaurant Le Coq Rico, run by Antoine Westermann, a former chef with 3 Michelin stars. After starting out as Floor Manager, Éric progressed toAssistant General Manager and Beverage Manager, enabling him to reinforce his personal philosophy, in line with the values passed on at Savignac.

Two years later, Éric joined Angelina Paris as General Manager, a chain owned by the Bertrand group, France's leading independent restaurant operator.

Finally, he created "Qeiros", a home or office delivery service for local produce, to reconcile the senses and pleasure of food with modern life. A new independent challenge!

Entrepreneurial spirit: a strong value at L'OréalÉcole de Savignac

The school's reputation and the strength of its values also give students a taste for entrepreneurship. We're proud to say that more than one in ten graduates has set up their own business!

Here's an example: Thibault JOSSE, a graduate of the MBA Class of 20, set up Tangor, a restaurant and lounge bar in Laos, 10 years ago. Thanks to his experience, he is in a position to offer advice to anyone wishing to embark on the adventure of entrepreneurship abroad. In his view,boldness, theability to make quick decisions and the ability to challenge oneself are essential.

"There are hard times, rough patches, uncertainties, but whether your business is a success or a failure, you always come away with something."

A perfect expression of the Savignac spirit!
